BMW 325i Problem
Model Years Affected: 2001, 2002, 2005
Average Mileage: 88,032 mi (1,749 mi - 280,000 mi)
A side door window regulator may fail causing the window to stop working, in some eases falling into the door. Replacement of the failed regulator will be required to correct this concern.

Rear window regulator broke in the down position. You can hear the motor trying to move the window when you hit the button, but nothing happens. Part had to be replaced at the expense of $240

I have had to replace the passenger regulator twice and the driver side once... Not a very well engineered design if you ask me.

I have 3 windows motor/actuator replaced at various times. First it was my rear passenger window that won't go up or down at 45K miles. Then it was my passenger side(front) window followed by the driver side window. All three window motor regulator was replaced and cost of repair was high. BMW should have a recall re these issues.

The back regulators were both replaced along with the passengers before 55,000 miles by previous owner. I have now replaced the drivers at 70,000 miles for $390 Dec 2011.

Bought the car used and the window was open 1 inch only to find out that the regulator was faulty. Mechanic (whom I trust) says this is common in this car. Based on service record on CarFax,the rear window regulator was replaced at 35,000 miles.
